"I had long ago heard the myth that if you lick the cream side of an Oreo, and stick it to a car, the paint will come off with it when the cookie comes off.

drat, I need to screenshot this stuff. The guy posted a sext selfie of a girl in a low top with a boob hanging out along with a plea for help.
His long caption was (ok, self, you can do this. You've been training forever to write stdh by reading this thread) something like:
----------
DOES ANYONE REMEMBER THIS PICTURE? [posts user-submitted rando nude pic]
Guys, I really need your help.

I was volunteering to upload some training pictures I took at work for our company's Facebook account.
I was outside smoking so I wasn't really paying that much attention, just batch uploading pictures.

But somehow, this picture got uploaded with them! And my girlfriend saw it on Facebook and asked a lot of questions.
I have no idea how this happened. I know I saw this picture posted on usersub. I must have favorited it somehow. [great explanation]

Nobody else has used or touched my phone. Except my brother, but he wasn't uploading any pics.

My girlfriend is very suspicious, so I'm trying to clear my name. I don't know that girl and haven't been cheating.
I'm trying to get anyone else to acknowledge that they saw that picture, too, so my gf will know it has nothing to do with me.
I know how bad this looks BUT I'M COMPLETELY INNOCENT AND HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS. Sorry, I'm getting so upset.

This probably won't work and my gf won't believe me, but I know it's true.

Nothing would make me happier than this story being true, but considering that something like 90% of the population of Newport and Torfaen don't speak any Welsh whatsoever, it almost certainly belongs here.

I'm surprised that someone who hears a Celtic language like Welsh once in a while wouldn't recognize that it wasn't an Arabic language.

The Pokemon that spawn nearby spawn for everyone in the area, not just for one person, and everybody is given the opportunity to catch it independently. So all of these stories about people racing to catch a Pokemon and steal it from each other is bullshit.

Earlier in this thread, I swear someone pointed out the reverse. And thus
- story is about black guys telling white nerd where some rare pokemon is
- posters say that Pokemon Go doesn't work like that, that it doesn't spawn the same pokemon in the same spots for everyone
- I bring up that fact about the game somehow on a date and embarass myself. Whoopsie

MTV had a show called Bully Beatdown with a very similar premise.

The non-reality setup for that show was that all the bullies had some MMA training and agreed to these fights. A few of the real MMA fighters struggled with some of the bullies, too. The fights were alternating kickboxing and grappling, and some of the bullies might be good enough at kickboxing to hold their own for a round.
So half the time, you didn't get to see as satisfying of a beatdown as the show's name would imply.

Blurred posted:

Serious question: does knowledge of these disciplines really transfer into the ability to defend oneself properly in an actual fight situation?
If your definition of a fight situation is a referred contest, like an actual combat sports match, then maybe, depending on the art.

If your definition is a violent assault on the street or in a bar, then not really.
Street fights have a lot of variables, like number of people, possible weapons, different environmental hazards, intoxication, etc. In theory you could have a training program that puts your in these scenarios and drill them specifically. There are even a couple of courses that do that. But things go out the window very quickly, so the key self "defense" skill to have is to avoid risky situations and to be able to read when a fight might break out and either leave or descalate it.

I've been in a few amateur kickboxing matches and have had a knife pulled on me during an attempted mugging. I did a reflexive evaluation of whether I could punch or kick this guy and knock him out before I got extremely hurt from getting stabbed and immediately decided against fighting.

quote:

I mean, if you're a krav maga guru then you can probably handle yourself just fine

The quality of instruction with Krav Maga is extremely varied. You can get a certificate to teach KM in 3 days. Some schools can be very legit, have meaningful training, and have correct instruction about approaching self-defense. Other schools will just blow smoke up your rear end about how much of a badass you're becoming while teaching nothing of value. Krav Maga is certainly not alone in this kind of overhyping.

To throw some more water on the Krav Maga deadly soldier marketing -- do you think Marines or any infantry spend that much time on hand to hand or hand to weapon combat? Would you want them to?

I think I've told this story in this thread, but after learning self defense and basics of Tai Chi, Aikido, Krav Maga, two guys tried to mug me, I broke a nose and started shouting, and then called 911 on myself, sobbing. The 911 operator explained what happened to me, and everything was (relatively) fine. Don't get into real fights; it's horrible.

You told it in the Martial Arts thread (which other folks should read if you've been at all curious about training).
